Fascinating Activities Await Students at Math Circle

Is your child interested in STEM-related studies? Are you looking for resources designed to give your children a leg up? Check out the Southern Maryland Math Circle. The next session is Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019. The initiative was founded by Dr. David Kung, a math professor at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and is supported by The Patuxent Partnership.

The Southern Maryland Math Circle provides fun, fascinating math activities to middle and high school students (and their families). Run by the faculty at St. Mary’s College, the monthly gathering is sure to inspire a love of mathematical exploration to everyone who comes. Snacks will be provided. No registration is required.

TPP member RED Inc. has been a strong sponsor of the Math Circle program, providing financial support for the program.

Professor Kung, a Wisconsin MATHCOUNTS champion himself, understands the importance of such programs and how they can positively influence students.

The Southern Maryland Math Circle program is an initiative designed to get students excited about mathematics by providing them with a setting that encourages exploration of non-standard mathematical problems rarely taught in standard curriculum. The Math Circle will allow students in grades 6 through 12 (and interested adults) to explore fascinating, open-ended math questions.

The library is at 21677 FDR Blvd. in Lexington Park.
